A Resident Tourist in Austin

TH's July issue features a day in Austin from three of our editors, each exploring some of the Capital City's favorite tourist spots from a local's perspective. I for one am experiencing Austin from a somewhat unusual vantage point: that of a longtime resident staying in a vacation rental while my new home is being completed.

My temporary home happens to be within walking distance of Barton Springs, Zilker Park, Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail, Whole Foods Market, and the 6th and Lamar retail area. Not a bad place to live like a tourist!
